TEACHING ARTIST - MUSIC, DANCE, AND VISUAL ARTS DISCIPLINES

PARK AVENUE ARMORY

Part American palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory is dedicated to supporting unconventional works in the visual and performing arts that need non-traditional spaces for their full realization, enabling artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to experience epic and adventurous presentations that cannot be mounted elsewhere in New York City. The Armory’s education program is essential to its vision and mission, as it builds upon the “outside-the-box” nature of the Armory’s unconventional artistic programming and the exceptional qualities of our building that inspire exploration, experimentation, and sheer wonder. Park Avenue Armory provides opportunities for employees to enrich and develop their love of the arts while contributing their specific skills, expertise, and talents. www.armoryonpark.org
